Is backup the same thing as business continuity?
Backup protects copies of information. Continuity also considers people, access, applications, communications and the order of recovery. A useful plan connects these pieces.

Business Backup & Disaster Recovery in South Florida
For South Florida businesses asking what happens if a hurricane, outage or system failure interrupts the office.
“We have backups” is only the start of a continuity conversation. Your office also needs to understand what is being protected, how recovery is checked, which systems matter first and who makes the decisions when normal work is interrupted.
Discuss your office’s ITKnow what needs to be recovered
Identify the business systems and information your team relies on. Discuss the backup arrangements, verification and restore checks around them. A documented view helps expose assumptions before those assumptions are tested by an outage.
Plan for a hurricane before there is a forecast
Can staff access the systems they need away from the office? Who contacts employees and vendors? Which services need attention first? Work through those questions alongside the realities of your locations, internet access and business applications.
